Beit known that I, HEINRICH ALmm'rz, locksmith, a subject of the GermanEmperor, and a resident of 1I lVeissgerbereclcgasse, (lologne, Germany,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-l'lolders,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain-holders` and has forits object a curtain-holder in which flat pieces of ii'on with severalbends and fastened to the curtainframe serve to receive thecurtain-poles and the wall-hooks.

On the accompanying drawings a form of construction of the device isshown in Figure l in a front elevation, partly in section, and in Fig. Qin plan view. Fig. 3 shows, on an enlarged scale, a detail, partly infront view, partly in section, while Fig. 4 shows the same in side View.

Siinilarletters refer to similarparts throughout the several views.

To the lateral parts rf of the curtain-frame I are fastened flat piecesof iron 7), serving to receive thc curtain-poles and the wall-hooks.Each iron is provided with an eye 7)', by means of which the iron andthe curtain-frame can be hungupon the wall-hooks c. The iron 7) carriesa part 7)", bent at a right angle, and the latter an arm 7), bent at aright angle so as to extend parallel to the part 7). In the arms 7)g ofeach iron the curtain-poles f/ are journaled with their ends, for whichpurpose these arms are provided with slits 7), into der that the pins,with their bent ends f2", can be inserted through the parts 7)", thelatter are provided with horizontal slits 7), Fig. 3, so

that after inserting the pins and turning the same the bent ends v"extend vertically.

Along the curtain-poles .r/ move the cm'tainrings l1)/ )n' m2, to whichare fastened thc curtains )f in the usual manner, as shown inFig. l. Theouter ring )n/ of each pole is prevented from being displaced on thepole ,f/ by the pin or cotter v', so that the latter serves twopurposes. To the inner curtain-ring wf of each pole is fastened the cord71 which passes over the loosely-pivoted bolts f. By a pull at one endof the cord 7i, Fig. 1, the two curtains )I are drawn together, and by apull at the otherend they are drawn apart. 'lhe two curtains of Fig. lare arranged on the two rear poles y, (shown in a ground plan in Fig.2,) so that both can be moved by a single cord 71,. The front pole y,Fig. 2, holds also a curtain, and this is moved separately by a specialcord 7i, which also passes over the bolts f.

If the whole window decoration is to be rcmoved for the purpose4 ofcleaning, all that is required is to simply take oli'l the frame fromthe wall-hooks c.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, and desired to besecured by Letters Patent, is-

In a curtain-holder, the combination with the curtain-frame, of liatiron pieces secured to the frame and having a plurality of bends,wall-hooks for engagement with said iron pieces, curtain-poles insertedthrough slots in said iron pieces` curtain-rings on said poles, curtainssecured to said rings, pins inserted through said iron pieces andengaging said curtain-poles and the outer of said curtainrings, boltsjournaled in said iron pieces, and cords secured to the innercurtain-rings and passing over said bolts, substantially as describedand for the purpose set forth.
